Only chimneys and gable finials are shown here, continuing from the main body of the building drawn on folio 5 recto opposite (D09674), under which the subject is discussed. Above is what seems to be the profile of a hill or coastline, and an architectural detail of a shallow Tudor-style arch, perhaps a detail of Newall Old Hall, if not a reprise of the doorway itself, which is shown in the main part of the drawing opposite.
Technical notes:
There is a small brown stain at the top right matching one on the opposite page, and also showing through to the recto (D09672). There are also some dark spatters, probably of ink, at the top right.
